[ChupaChups]

This looks juicy - The RI 101 which will replace the out going RI 100.

"Vitus Audio’s rating of the RI-101 is specified as 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms. That’s plentiful and most likely a conservative rating. The new amplifier uses a more efficient and somewhat improved version of the 1KVA transformer used previously. The main power supply capacitance totals 432,000 micro-farads (216,000 per channel)"

 

With DAC and streaming solution module.

 

"RI-101 DAC module obviously with some space constraints which are further eliminated in the RD-101 DAC and future signature products. As for services, we will support Airplay, Roon, MQA, Tidal, Spotify, etc."

Wonder if it's much of a step up from the excellent ri-100

Do you know, if the RD-101 is a pre/dac, or just a dac?

Do you mean it has analogue/digital outputs from the DAC module? My guess it isn't have. This unit is an integrated amplifier after all.

From the linked article,

 

"The last-gen model was a solid performer which impressed with its music-reproducing capabilities even if, in the context of my system, it displayed a tad too much weight in the bass tied in with a subtly dark character preventing ultimate accuracy. The differences between it and the new RI-101 are quite startling. "
